'ello 'ello 'ello

There aren't many of these Police phone boxes left. All they contain is a phone which connected you to the nearest police station. The irony is, this is in Grosvenor Square, the one place in London all you need to do to find twenty policemen on top of you is sneeze in a suspicious manner. (The American Embassy is here)

A neat narrative amid a hardly suspicious phone box. I used to see police, in movies, stopping to call in official business. It looks like this one is considerably more modern. Can anyone use them. For example in emergencies.

I just returned to Portland from a week holiday to London, and saw another one of these around Piccadilly Circus (very near the Virgin Megastore, to be precise). I spotted it right off, for although it's very narrow, I'm a big Doctor Who fan, so it caught my eye almost immediately. :)
